Considering making 4-5 shots of espresso in the morning then just filling up a full size coffee mug so it can last throughout the morning.

Anyone have experience with this? Good idea or heart attack speedrun?

      I made what I call a Dirty Americano = two double shots of espresso (instead of adding hot water to espresso), in my espresso machine.

    I mean, it’s just a lot of caffeine. I’m sure some people have no problem, but others will be off the walls or just sick. What’s your typical caffeine intake? If you just want a hot drink to sip on for longer, try a couple shots of espresso and top the mug off with hot water for an Americano.

    That’s around what I do, either at home with my Aeropress or when I go to my favorite coffee place, a six shot iced espresso.

    I only feel jittery if I drink too much at once, and almost never want more.

    Of my at home mugs, sometimes I’ll have a second but not always.

    And I don’t have any problems sleeping.

    My regular morning brew is a 300ml moka pot in a mug with frothy milk. According to this I’m taking about 516mg of caffeine each morning, without spacing it out.

    I have owned that thing for over a decade and have always treated it as a single serving device. I think FDA’s wisdom is mostly a guideline, and nothing beats simply knowing your own tolerance.
